little red ms. m

After the recent overall success I was motivated to make a little pinafore dress for Ms. M using the same pattern – burda 9772. Again I used corduroy my favourite fabric of the moment– ousting my ol’ fave denim.

For this little cord pinafore I covered the buttons…

… and sewed a rolled hem …

… and made a red honcho to complete the ensemble.

The poncho is made from polar fleece. Last year I made a similar poncho for Ms. M and it was a great top layer without being too bulky and restricting her movement too much. Polar fleece is so easy to wash and get dry quickly making it a popular choice for the little residents of this home.

Gorgeous photos of a gorgeous girl in a gorgeous pinafore!! Doesn't she look just adorable in that outfit! You've done a fantastic job as usual Sal, well done!The red tights work finish it off so well too:)

Wow, you have done an absolutely awesome job. No wait, a totally ACE job! They look terrific! Makes me want a girl to sew for. (someone else's girl though! lol) Isn't it sad how fast they grow out of the great stuff though! You will need to find another little girl to put it on later. It's ACE, just super ACE.

What a gorgeous outfit!! And don't worry - I am sure she will soon master climbing in a dress (and all the other things little girls need to do whilst dressed up pretty.....like helping with the car oil changing etc...or maybe that is just my girl lol)
